Aortic cross-clamping during IVC occlusion prevented hypotension and maintained hemodynamic stability that has required bypass in other series. This surgical treatment with the less extensive approach could result in long-term survival of patients with RCC in whom tumor thrombus extends into the IVC. We recommend that radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombectomy, with or without caval resection, be performed in these patients, with less invasive additional maneuvers.

In this clinical series venous valvular function was better preserved after iliofemoral DVT when treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis.

An HBI below 0.65 may be a predictor of BC after AAA repair. NIRS appears to be a useful noninvasive method for evaluating BC after AAA.

A high percentage of periodontopathic bacteria were detected in atherosclerotic arterial wall specimens from patients with atherosclerosis, especially with primary atherosclerotic lesions, and most cases had severe periodontitis.
